Genuine wood paneling gave it the authentic UP outdoor/cabin feel. I don't know the last time I was in a hotel, for this rate, where the decor included two Tiffany Lamps. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom well kept and the AC, lighting, WiFi and TV were all most accommodating. Skip the expensive chain, this is a great stop.

The bath towels were thick. Air conditioning worked great. The owner was very nice and helpful. Fyi, bring your own shampoo, there is none in the room (not a big deal since there is a Dollar General, a pharmacy, and a grocery store within 5 mins of the motel). We will DEFINITELY be staying here again, and we will be avoiding the big expensive chain hotel that's nearby. Picture for attention

It's beautiful, peaceful, and truly in the middle of nowhere. "Resort" is sort of a loose term, as it is essentially four cabins at the end of a small peninsula between Little Lake and Lake Superior. The cabins have gas powered heat, water, and basic electricity but there are no TVs and no great luxuries. The cabins are spacious and comfortable and 3/4 have great views of Little Lake while the 4th is more tucked away in the woods (a short walk to the beach still). I could be biased because I have spent nearly every summer of my life here in addition to fall and winter weekends, but this place is my heaven on earth.

Hot showers, full kitchens, gas refrigerators with small freezers, and gas lights. No electricity, no cell signal, just beach and wind in the trees. RENTS only by the WEEK. Saturday afternoon to the next Saturday morning. May through October. 90 % repeat families and friends, so availability is limited. Best to call mid October or in early May for open weeks. No official website.

We spent the night after spending the day at Tahquamenon Falls. We called ahead to make sure dogs were allowed. Front office staff was friendly. We had some trouble with the television and someone came over right away to fix it. There is a large green space in the back for dogs and kids to run and stretch their legs after a long car journey. This place is no frills! No coffee pot in the room. No telephone even to call the front desk -- you have to walk over. Struggled to find an outlet to charge the phone. The bed was definitely not great. It wiggled and jiggled like it was an air bed on springs. The desk person didn't seem to have a clue as to where we could find a place to eat. She gave us a couple names and vague directions but one was closed. I would recommend the Evening Star as a place to stay on your way to someplace else.

BUT: The floor was shockingly lumpy underneath the carpet, and the hotel room smelled bad - worse than the bathroom, actually. And speaking of the bathroom, it had one of those small-mouth toilets that are fine for women and children, but not for grown men. (If you know, you know.) Add in a price north of $150 per night, and I think 3 stars is being generous.

We took full advantage of the hot tub, which is very large. We also seemed to be the only family to enjoy it, so was nice to have the area all to ourselves :) Breakfast was good and had a large variety. Beds were comfortable and rooms were very clean. Fresh hot cookies, coffee, and popcorn available all day long! Only complaint would have to be the floors, you can hear anyone walking around above you or outside your door--or we had a herd of elephants staying in the hotel with us . Just be aware and make sure you have the fan on "constant"! So cannot praise the workers here high enough-one of the kids left their phone. Girl at the Front desk called and personally delivered the phone! She just happened to to driving our way the next day! Now how is that for service?? I would definitely stay near again!

The interiors of these cabins are very clean and well-kept, with recent renovations. We were very comfortable during our stay here and are looking forward to returning. The kitchen was clean and completely equipped, and the main living area had plenty of space for the two of us to stretch out and relax. Bedrooms were a little small, and the mattresses softer than I'd like, but were OK for a week. The bathroom looked recently remodeled. Shower stall was awesome--large, with the nozzle high enough to spray my 6'6" frame without me bending down. That's almost never been the case at a rental cabin. Wifi was generally reliable, but went out several times, usually briefly. The view of course is wonderful. Having Lake Superior right outside your window is reason enough to stay here. With so much to do around Paradise, our main regret was not staying another week,

The beds were comfortable, one of them was brand new! The bathroom was small but there was excellent water pressure and good, hot water. Our cabin had all the basics including all kitchen ware, a coffee maker, hair dryer, TV/VCR/DVD player and alarm clocks. Outdoors, our yard included a screened in attached porch, fire pit (wood included), picnic table, chairs and a cafe table and a clothesline. The property sits on the edge of Lake Superior and has private beach access. The beach has beautiful Great Lakes sand and cool, clear water. The beach is lined with adirondack chairs and they have inner tubes for the kids. The owners work hard to maintain their property and therefore can be a bit persnitickity about their cabins and property. Don't be put off; this place is terrific and they are the reason why. Do bring your own marshmallow forks; it's the one thing we didn't find. And, do your grocery shopping before you get to Paradise; the grocery store is a whole different ball game!
